Kabul My Capital

Wednesday, August 6, 2014

Afghanistan, land of the patriarchs. Women are sentenced to serve men and do all the tough work. From sunrise to sunset when they wake up married or single, their job is to work harder than the men of the family, refill the water reservoirs at home, cook, take care of the children and at the end if the man asks she must provide extra services.

Natural resources. Afghans in almost 60 percent of Afghanistan use wood and the firewood they collect from the deserts and mountains. Gas and gasoline is still counted a luxury. Electricity... Excuse me, what is that???? It doesn't exist.

The taste of the dish cooked on this fire is way different and I still miss it.

Dear Viewer!

Welcome to my capital. As we live in the 21st century and in a communications era, I don't want to say don't use or copy photos. It will make no sense, but when you copy for any reasons please mention the source. Because not only me, but any other photographer risks something to take a shot. That is why we deserve to be mentioned if our product is used in any form.
